Samurai Rising

the Epic Life of Minamoto Yoshitsune
Dec 22, 2016LPL_LaurenT rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
Samurai Rising delivers a griping and compelling look at life in 12th Century Japan. Outlining the life of Minamoto Yoshitsune, this dive into history is packed with action: battles, tales of bravery and the origins of seppuku. Written like a novel with all the research of 1,000 page history text, I gobbled this book up. The history nerd in me wasn't completely satisfied with the lack of footnotes (although they are cited extensively in the back), but it was still an exciting read!
